No clutch pressure, and leaking fluid near starter
I went to go drive my car this morning and the clutch pedal went to the floor. I topped off the fluid and tried pumping it rapidly and nothing worked. Looked under the car and have found fluid on the starter. From what I've searched, the slave cylinder is right there and is probably the cause. But I just want to double check before I go and order a slave cylinder. Thanks!

Yeah, and the rubber hose that goes between too.

I just bled my clutch today. The slave cylinder is right above the starter. If you are really slick you can bleed it without removing the starter but it is hard. Crawl under there and have a look before you go replacing the slave and master cylinder. You could have had the bleed nipple just back out. If that happened (or if the slave failed, like the other guys said), that is exactly where you would find hydraulic fluid leaking from.
